autotext
This is not something I set up and I need to know how to turn it off! BTW: I haven't turned on autotext either, so I'm always surprised by it... I type something with a g/ and Greetings, Bill (Gates?) follows. Is this what they call an Easter Egg? How do I stop that? I can work around it, but I want to stop it dead in its tracks.

autotext
Check under Insert, AutoText, Autotext, AutoText and AutoCorrect tabs for
these options. Hope this helps DeanH "sf" wrote: This is not something I set up and I need to know how to turn it off! BTW: I haven't turned on autotext either, so I'm always surprised by it...

autotext
Sounds like a rogue AutoCorrect entry. Check in the AutoCorrect list for g/.

autotext
Thanks, I looked in both autocorrect and autotext but it's not there.
Any other ideas?  `````````` On Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:41:27 -0000, "Terry Farrell" wrote: Sounds like a rogue AutoCorrect entry.

autotext
Do you have a programmable keyboard? Perhaps that has somehow become set
with an unwanted entry? It certainly isn't an Easter Egg. Does this still happen if you start in Safe Mode? From Start, Run, type in winword /a and press enter. Test it now. If it stops, then it pretty much points to an incompatible add-in. Let us know the result please. Terry "sf" wrote in message ... Thanks, I looked in both autocorrect and autotext but it's not there.
